Arnold Schwarzenegger Confesses to Love Child

Well, at least he’s being up front and honest about it.

Former California governor and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger told the Los Angeles Times yesterday (May 16) that he fathered a child with a member of he and wife Maria Shriver’s household staff more than a decade ago. Shriver moved out of their house earlier this year when Schwarzenegger broke the news to her:

“After leaving the governor’s office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago,” Schwarzenegger revealed in a statement to the paper on Monday. “I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family. There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I have apologized to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry … I ask that the media respect my wife and children through this extremely difficult time. While I deserve your attention and criticism, my family does not.”

I think we can assume this is the reason behind their separation. The housekeeper (side chick) has retired from her position. According to the Los Angeles Times, “The Governator” has taken care of the child financially since the beginning. Arnold and Maria have four children together already.
